She transitioned to modeling in 2013, appearing in commercials for Ciao Bella and modeling for brands like Equinox Fitness, Benrus, and Dune Jewelry.

She closed the SI Swimsuit runway in 2019 and featured in the 2020 and 2025 issues, including a 2025 shoot in the Swiss Alps.

Kostek has modeled for Reebok, L’Oréal, Victoria’s Secret, Clarins, and Kittenish, walking in New York Fashion Week 2018.
